Moreover, it's a long time that VM have more or less same performances as compiled code (with JIT, AOT, etc.)
But you're free to buy an iPhone if you want. Just use the rights reasons (for example: don't compare a new top of line IPhone with an old budget Android phone... there's high-end android phones too, with performances in line with iphones... and same kind of price tags ;-) )
- marcellus23 3y ago> there's high-end android phones too, with performances in line with iphones... TFA shows otherwise, do you have a reason why it would be wrong?
- acdha 3y ago> there's high-end android phones too, with performances in line with iphones Yes, but you have to go several years back on the iPhone side: a $300 iPhone 13 from 2021 handily outperforms a new $1k Galaxy S23 Ultra on most web benchmarks and anything else which doesn’t use every core and the GPU heavily.

Mid-budget Android phones handily outperformed top of the line iPhones on time to interactive in productivity apps until recently, and now they are merely neck and neck. https://9to5google.com/2023/03/01/galaxy-s23-ultra-speed-test/ https://9to5google.com/2023/03/01/galaxy-s23-ultra-speed-tes...
